Do you know what YOU are wearing?

Candi wears a classically fashionable fully lined, dressmaker tailored suit in multicolored raw silk and coral colored worsted crepe.

Contrary to current common wisdom, these fabrics are washable. It would be unwise, however, to put these finished garments in a washing machine; the tailoring structure would be abused by the agitation.

Come learn with us how to identify, select, and care for your own significant textiles, whether you stitch them yourself or wish to be a discerning consumer. Stay tuned for updates, announcements and fun facts about what we do here at BUILD!

Reach out to learn more about available studios, become a member, and stay tuned for upcoming classes, events, and opportunities happening at Build RVA.🫶🔧
